Best KPortal Reviews
Food was fantastic. Server was very friendly and fast. The only issue is the lighting, can we get some light please. It's very dark, I'm sure it's to say some mood but I wanted to break out a flashlight to read the menu.
I had the chicken parm.. I know I know basic. But it was perfection.
The kid ordered the chicken Marsala with Alfredo pasta and could not stop raving about the Alfredo. I did have a little taste and it was phenomenal.
Will definitely order my own Alfredo next visit
For desert we had the tiramisu and lemon cake. Which I'll be dreaming about all week.
Service was incredible, our waiter took our daughters (3yrs) order early to let it cool and be served with our own plates; polite, incredibly clean, and calm atmosphere. I had the fettuccine with Alfredo sauce and chicken, my boyfriend had the Parmasan chicken, and our daughter had a personal pizza. Plus the pricing was incredibly fair with big portions.
The food was amazing. We loved every bit of it. We would love more dessert variety if possible tho. The food was perfectly cooked and service was really nice.
UPDATE: We ate here yesterday again and it’s still the best Italian restaurant here in the Quad Cities that I’ve been to. Still 5-stars. They’re watching social distancing as well due to the pandemic. I didn’t even notice that there were a lot of people eating already when I saw all the cars parked outside. The place was clean and still cozy as before, and the service was amazing.
02/22/2024 Went with a group of 16. The food was very fresh!!! And delicious. We had wine, apps, salads, meals. Everything was perfect.
The service was top notch. Excellent service! So glad we chose the restaurant!
The price was excellent as well.
Went in on Valentine’s Day knowing full well we did not have a reservation. We were given a time frame of when we might get a table. We were sat within that time frame. Staff were amazing! Our server was so nice and personable, he even kept checking in even in the huge rush of a busy Valentine’s Day. The bread was amazing, and I am talking fresh bread. The fried raviolis had cheese that melted in your mouth instead of pulling and being overtly greasy, I would 100% recommend them. Our food came out incredibly fast, perfectly made. Not only are the prices incredibly reasonable but also taste amazing. This place has Italian food market cornered in the quad cities. Will be back
I rarely post anything negative about a restaurant as I believe that anyone can have a bad night.
But, our server was terrible. She forgot utensils, napkins, oil, and vinegar for the table. The balsamic vinegar used for the restaurant was thin. This means that it wasn't aged and tasted like a cheap vinegar. The olive oil should have he ad some flavor and fragrance. It possessed neither. When the utensils WERE finally brought, the comment from our server was that we would have to roll our own. We asked about specials and we're told "We don't do those here". The server had no knowledge of any of the long wine and beer list and only brought a list after being asked. We were allotted one stained list for 5 people. The paper menus looked as if they had been printed on a cheap printer in house and most had food stains as they weren't even laminated.
Then we got to the entrees. First, the server got one order wrong and argued about it. (It was supposed to be a simple fettuccine Alfredo. This had shellfish and mushrooms. That party is allergic to both!) The sauces were thin and the pasta tasted as if it were waterlogged. I had the vodka sauce. This should be a pink sauce that clings to the pasta because of the cream added to a red sauce base. It was thin and had very little flavor.
As I said when I started, I don't do negative reviews. (You can check my history!) But, this was a complete waste of time and money!
Really fast, friendly service and DELICIOUS food. My wife and I both got fettuccine alfredo (1 chicken, 1 shrimp), and they were both super saucy with lots of meats. Not outrageously priced, but only open for lunch and dinner NOT open all day.
This restaurant has been in Bettendorf for as long as I can remember. I remember it all the way back to when I was in high school in the early 2000s. I never actually made it there, though. I wanted some Italian food after work tonight and decided to give it a try.
First impressions of the space - I don't think much has changed from the 80s or 90s. Certain aspects of the space are inviting, including the rustic brick walls in certain areas, the large wine rack in the main dining room, and the soft lighting throughout. The soft burgundy and yellow walls add an extra warmth through the dining room, and the simple wooden booths with plate glass dividers adorned with etchings of grapes and vines bring some clean accents.
Other parts of the interior just make the space appear unnecessarily old and dated, however. This is most prominently seen in the 2x4 drop ceiling, whose black tiles are sagging noticeably throughout the main dining room. The floors, composed of 4 inch square tiles of varying reddish beige, similarly seem of a style not prominent for decades. Neither of these features pale compared to the sound system employed in the dining area, which consists of what I can only best characterize as a single speaker that appears to have blown out sometime between 10-20 years ago. The volume on my visit wasn't terrible, but the speaker would periodically blare static or simply cut out for a few seconds. Definitely threw off the overall mood of the visit a bit...
While the ambiance wasn't perfect, neither was the food. I enjoyed the bread and oil, which was of the style and quality expected at an Italian restaurant - crispy exterior with a warm soft inside. No complaints there. My choice of entree, however, left me a bit disappointed. I'm a huge fan of pesto and as such opted for the Fettuccine al Pesto with shrimp. This was, unfortunately, pretty disappointing. If not for the sparse pieces of what looked like basil leaf in the pasta, it would not have even visually looked like pesto. The pasta itself was fairly gummy and tasteless - not sure if it just wasn't seasoned well in boiling or if there was another issue present. The only real high note to the dish was the shrimp - the six small shrimp included amongst the huge bowl of fettuccine.
Fortunately, the desert saved the meal for me which, given the eponymous nature of the establishment, had to be a piece of tiramisu. The restaurant's namesake did not disappoint - the cookies were soaked with espresso, the marscapone cream was light, and there was a delightful dusting of chocolate powder and copious chocolate syrup adorning the plate. The slice was a nice light, not overly sweet, way to end the meal, something I'd return for all alone.
I do get the distinct feeling I may have just chosen not the best dish. A cursory second look at the menu left me hungry to try other dishes, several of which feature prominently a red sauce of some type. I'll have to come back and try again at some point. I would clarify I do kind of enjoy the vintage atmosphere of the dining room, though I think they really should replace the speaker - that was a bit obnoxious.
